Understanding and Appreciating Differences
             My sister and I are two very different people. We deal with situations differently and we disagree on many things. My sister and I communicate differently which sometimes causes confusion.
             When I am at home I take a lot of time to think about many things, like about my day, tomorrow, yesterday and life in general.

We have our misunderstanding and disagreements from time to time but all sisters do. Although we are different, we accept each other for who we are.
